WHY PHILLY DOES THIS They get rid of Tobi’s massive contract and acquire a good playmaker off the bench in Mike with their long time target Eric Gordon, a 3 point specialist. PG: Harden/Mike SG: Maxey/Melton SF:Gordon/House PF:Tucker/Niang C:Embiid/Reed

WHY JAZZ DOES THIS They absorb bad contracts, (which they could waive (Tobi, Powell)) but get young assets, picks and a replacement for Don. (Terry Rozier) This would be the trade that hit the reset button and tru to get a top pick next draft. PG: Rozier/Butler SG: Bouknight/Clarkson SF: Martin/Thor/Furk PF: Vando/Washington/Fontecchio C: Kessler/Dok

WHY ROCKETS DOES THIS: They get rid of Eric’s 2 year contract for a 1 year contract that they could buyout alongside two great young pieces to add for their rebuild. PG: KPJ/NAW SG: Green/Jaygup SF: Tate/Tisse/Matthews PF: Smith Jr/Eason C: Sengun/Garuba

WHY HORNETS DOES THIS Getting Spida shows they are willing to compete for a chip and it fills the void Bridges will leave. They also get to keep Kai Jones who could be their starting 4. It also attracts free agents to come to Charlotte, they just need to up their roster more because this roster is a first round playoff exit. PG:Melo/Ntilikina SG:Spida/Martin SF:Hayward/Oubre PF:Kai/Mcdaniels/Gay C:Plumlee/Mark Williams

WHY MAVS DOES THIS They get Pat Bev, a dawg on the defensive end that is a upgrade from Ntilikina, also compliments Doncic well and completely makes their defense from good to great. It also opens minutes for Green and Bertans, which I also think is a great fit for Luka. They could get a third string 5 like Dwight or Whiteside if they want to. PG:Spencer/Bev SG:Luka/THJ SF:DFS/Bullock/Green PF:Wood/Bertans C:Mcgee/Kleber
